Gonna Color This When I Have Time But Here’s Some Sad Stuff Immediately After The Fun Sketches.

+ for posterity I hope people know how inextricably linked McLaren's passive and active malice is to the erasure of Daniel's credentials in the public domain. he was seldom defended last year. And never this year.

On November 3rd 2020, 58 days before Daniel became a McLaren driver, Ross Brawn, F1's managing director, dedicated part of his last column of the year to Daniel saying “Daniel Ricciardo is a brilliant driver, and one of the very best in Formula1 [...]I hope McLaren can give Daniel a car he deserves next season. He’s a great member of the F1 fraternity.” And reiterated that Daniel is a championship contender whose never been in a contending car

He's tied for second place with Lewis for most wins starting outside the top 3. For reference, first is Alonso and Raikkonen, he's tied with Lewis for second and 3rd is Schumacher. 4th is Jenson Button. All champions while he's never been in a championship contending car

McLaren letting the *Daniel is not a very adaptable driver* narrative run rampant when in his supposed "bad" first year at Renault in 2019, he ran out the incumbent driver and produced unimpressive feats like going from 20th to 4th on two occasions.

Broke Renault's 10 year podium drought. Twice.

People genuinely running with that bizarre conspiracy that Daniel is poor in the technical realm of F1 when Cyril, who had no reason to defend or protect Daniel after he announced his departure said that the technical breakthrough Renault had was solely Daniel's doing and the only reason they were even able to compete for 3rd in the championship + "Daniel will be competing with a stronger team next year thanks to his own efforts"

The first driver in 8 years to score multiple fast laps without being part of a top 3 team, a record previously held by Raikkonen

In 2019 Nico Rosberg revealing that during briefings Mercedes drivers would ask not to be released around Daniel after pitting because if he's in front of you he's not going to let you through and if he's behind you he's overtaking you.

Helmut Marko, known cunt and crackhead, admitting that the only time they've had 2 drivers matched in performance at Red Bull was during the Ricciardo-Verstappen line up.

People saying he was too arrogant and egotistical (¿¿¿) to gel with the team like. When was the last fucking time a driver went to another teams garage to apologise to another driver's mechanics for a racing incident he was NOT penalised for, during a wet session, where Carlos Sainz himself said Daniel couldn't have changed the outcome if he tried.

In his first year in Red Bull, during the most radical regulation change in recent f1 history, he was the only driver besides mercedes to win a race. He won 3 races.

This is Daniel's calibre, and no amount of historical romanticism from McLaren or their paid shills will ever change that.

I don’t think I’ve introduced my deity OCs yet. The Sun and Moon are secondary characters in a story of mine! The Moon chooses to wander the earth as a human, experiencing life as a human would, while the Sun sees this as an affront and a blatant disregarding of her true nature. They argue about it a lot.

Remember that t-shirts designing F1 YouTube video the drivers did last year? Yeah me neither.

Anyways: Mick, Zhou, and Sebastian’s t-shirt designs were something I needed to sketch last year so I’m pulling some old drawings from the vault.

Some sketches I had fun with after the trailer dropped for season of the Chosen. I won’t be able to play for a couple of weeks but I’m enjoying all the second hand info I’m getting!

Your honor, ladies and gentlemen of the jury: Them

Daniel Ricciardo | The Honey Badger

I’m almost done with the Mass Effect trilogy about a decade late but I’m still not ready for whatever ending I’m going to end up having. Did I make sure I have max paragon and war assets? Yes. Do I draw renegade art to experience a side of Shepard I will never see? Also yes.

D&D character backstory angst. She’s really over the whole arm thing by now no need to ask about it.

Rewatched the Hobbit a week ago and forgot how much those movies absolutely controlled my life when they came out.

I love the difference between a sketch and a worked piece.
